Muk appeared with Oak, TR said their old motto and Charizard was looking like a beast in the opening.. that's all I need to know for me to realise I will enjoy this new 'Episode N' arc more than the rest of the disastrous BW saga..

You're really basing that on a set of three things of which two are fanservice that will never actually contribute anything? Come on, you know as well as I do Muk isn't going to appear again for a long time.

I see a lot of people on here who claim that they'll do that and I can't help but laugh because they never truly leave and I guarantee you'll still be on this forum in the future.

Very true! As the song 'Hotel California' put it ''you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave''!

I get fed up, I especially have with BW, but I doubt I'll ever leave the show for good! I've checked out... but haven't managed to leave yet!

Advice to the writers for the 6th Gen:
1. Give a fair distribution of screentime and battles- No Pika-Hogging.
2. Give Ash as many Pokemon as you will bother with, and no more.
3. Evolution is nothing to be scared of. Especially evolve Starters, please!

If the TRio were smart, I would assume that they're annoying Ash with their poaching just because they KNOW that he's going to do something to help out against Team Plasma and, ultimately, shut them down. If they get Ash's Pokemon, it's a win for them anyway because it better equips TR for battle against TP.

Old motto + Meowth balloon + mechas + blasting off = no serious. It is a fallacy to claim that their babbling nonsense was the only trait that made them stupid.

But since we're not allowed to talk about it even though it's part of this episode, I guess I'll just say welcome back cookie-cutter lazy writing!

Since you never elaborate why it;s cookie cutter lazy writing, why should we listen to you.

From reading the posts, it sounds like a fun episode. I always liked the comical villains (Team Rocket) and it's great to see them again. Sorry to be the minority, but I like their gags. And Pepsi, don;t use the R word.

He did elaborate as did I, he means the writers use the TR as a plot device to steal a pokemon and every episode plot becomes about TR stealing X pokemon and Pikachu and them blasting off again.

Did Team Rocket blast off? I only saw the pictures and I didn't see them flying into the sky twinkling, looked more like they were just blasted off to another part of the forest or whatever. Regardless, I enjoyed seeing them again, and they still seem like they are capable of doing stuff.

The girl is crazy. I enjoyed it but...she's still crazy.

I was disappointed that Ash's Pokemon at Juniper's wasn't shown, but I was glad to see Muk trying to have it's way with Oak again.

Stunfisk is crazy too. It took way too much pleasure out of getting shocked...I enjoyed it nonetheless. Was nice seeing it again.

Sounds like a good episode, Kanto Team Rocket being back like I was hoping and Muk appearing with Oak? YES!! People, older region are still connected, they didn't die after allXD
Ash seemed mature in this episode a bit, I like that and the new opening and ending were some of the best of the BW series I've seen, for once I am happy.

A close family member of mine died today, I put this in my sign as respect for him

Woah woah woah. Kanto TR? I'll believe that when I see it. I'd be surprised if anything that was up to Kanto's levels returned to Pokémon.

I just got done watching the episode and I don't know why everyone is making such a big deal about the TRio's role in this episode.
I mean they are acting a little different then they did in the beginning of BW but not that different to call it a complete personality change.
I mean they are still competent and they are not acting like complete goofballs like they did in DP. If this is how they are gonna be in the rest of episode N then I am fine with it.

They were not back to being comical, people. They were written the exact same way they've been throughout BW. The only thing "Kanto-esque" about them was their motto, their balloon, and the fact that they had a (rather boring and generic, not stylized at all) mech.

This episode was a nice setup for the N chapter, the Oak and Muk cameos were nice and altough the new trainer girl was annoying at times, she managed to be entertaining for comic relief..

Team Rocket WERE NOT like their DP selves, so much complaining for nothing they were competent and their new pokemon seemed powerful, it was great Unfezant took out both of them, she's getting stronger. 9/10

That doesn't mean they are lazy. I know lazy, I am a Fanfic critic but I don't get all hot and bothered over anime plots, especailly a child's one.

Ofc thats being lazy, write the same episode from Kanto to DP most of the times and thats not being lazy? thats taking the easy way out, what would you call lazy then? there really isn't another word that can be used.
